A Necklace of Human Fingers.

A Washington dispatch to the New York
World says: A curious and interesting relic of
Indian barbarism was received at the War De
partment few days ago. 1t consisted of a
necklace of human fingers. Originally there
were eleven fingers, strung together after the
manner of necklaces of bears claws, but three
of them had been lost. The CHASTITY adornment
was captured in an attack on the Northern
Cheyenpes is 1876, and each finger represented a
hTe taken by the owner, the big medicine man
of the tribe. The fingers had been preserved by
opening the skin, removing the BONES scraping
away all tissues and fatty substances, replacing
the bones and subiecting the skin to some tan
ming process. The necklace was sent to West
Point by Capt Bourke, who is engaged in pre-
pairing historical matter relating to the Indians.
It was brought from West Point here TO be re-
produced in paper mache at the Smithsonian
Institution. The scientists there are quite en-
thusiastic over it, regarding ii as a precious
specimen of the barbarous habits of the Indians
who are fast disappearing, War Department
officials, however, look upon it with disgust
whenever they are able to summon up sufficient
hardihood to take peep at it.

A Resolution Which Caused Surprise.

A Resolution Which Caused Surprise.
The resolution of the City Council OPP
! posing the course Of the county in the old
cemetery matter was doubtless something
of n surprise to the County Commissioners
and the public. The impression all along
has been that il made no difference whether
the city or the county got possession of the
cemetery provided steps were at once taken
to improve it. The improvement of ttD
place is what the public wants.
Doubtless the county does not want to get
into a controversy with the city over the
question of which has the right to the pos
| session Of the cemetery. The city has been
| trying for years to get possession of it, and
has not succeeded. The county had the his
tory of the cemetery looked up, and reached
the conclusion that the title to it rests in the
State 1t concluded, therefore, to ask the
State for it, If the title does not rest in
the State, then the State will not undertake
to give the county title
But there should not be any wrangling
between the city and county concerning the
cemetery, because that will still further de
lay its Improvement. If the city objects to
the bill which the county has had intro
duced into the Legislature with regard to
it, let the city and county authorities have
a conference with the view of reaching a
basis for harmonious action A little mis-
understanding now may result in complica-
tions which will keep the cemetery in its
present condition for ten years or more.
If the city wants a part of the ground for
city hall it ought to have no difficulty in
getting it. There is room enough for a
court house, city hall, and even for
church, if it shall appear that the
claim of Christ church is a valid one
In fact, the old cemetery will accommodate
all Of these buildings, and there will be
room enough for armory sites for which
several military organizations are now look
ing.
The suggestion that a memorial tomb be
erected in some part of the cemetery, in
which to place the bodies which may be
found there, appears to have allayed what
ever opposition there was to the improve
ment of the place. 1t is to he regretted,
therefore, that the city proposes to antago
nize the county in its effort to make the
cemetery a place of beauty. 1t ought to
welcome any chance to get rid of such an
unsightly blotch or the fair face of the
city.

Millionaire Crocker's Revenge.
G. II. Fitch in the august Cosmopolitan.


1t is Mr.. Crocker's custom to ride home from
the railroad offices in San Francisco in the
democratic street car. Any one who sees him
leaning his weary face on his large gold headed
cane would take him for a deacon or philan-
thropist, so benevolent is his expression and so
immaculate his clerical looking neckte; but the
observer would be greatly mistaken. Croker
has the reputation OF being the most merciless
of all the uilhOuaires Some idea of his char
acter may be gained from this incident: When
ne bought the block on which his present resi-
dence is built the owner of one lot. a stubborn
German, at first refused to sell When his
avarice became excited by the millionaire's in
tent eagerneSs to buy, he gradually increased
his price after each successive offer. Finally
Croker became enraged and swore a mighty
oath that never while he lived would he buy
that property. So he built huge fence, p feet
high around the house and lot of the German
The latter soon had to remove his house, and
the fence, somewhat reduced in height, still re-
mains to mark the millionaire's wrath, although
the German has been in his grave for several
years. Croker is regarded as worth $50. 900, 600
of which much is in real estate.

! Secretary Whitney's management of the
| Navy Department commands the respect
| even of his political opponents No Re
publican newspaper pretends that in build
ing the new navy he is governed by any
/ thing but the purest motives and the strict
est business principles. Bids are invited for
! the new vessels as fast as the government Is
ready to give out the contracts for them,
and the bids which are received contain no
hint of jobbery. They are made by re-
sponsible men who understand that all win
be treated alike. and that no favortism will
be shown on account of politics or anything
else
This is all very different from the con-
, Mr. Robson and Mr.. Chandler
were at the head of the
Navy Department. These two men, during
their respective administrations of the de-
partment, spent many millions of the pub
lie money, but neither of them left anythinS
in the shape of naval vessels, which showed
what they had done with the money which
had passed through their hands Indeed,
there was always about the Navy Depart
ment while they We're at the head of it a
suspicion that there was lobby somewhere
about, and that contracts could only be
obtained through its help. Old vessels
were repaired at an enormous cost, and
when all that could be done upon them had
been done they were generally unfit for sea.
If there was not dishonesty there was at
least extravaganza which came so near dis
honesty as to be scarcely distinguishable
from it,
A few days ago bids were opened at the
Navy Department for three new cruisers
and two gunboats Members of the bidding
firms were present and everything was done
in an open and straightforward way Every
body was satisfied, because it was evident
that everybody was justly treated. The
bids covered all the vessels, but the one for
the cruiser Newark will hardly be ac-
cepted, as it was not based upon the plans
furnished by the Navy Department, but by
the bidders, who agreed to give guarantee
that they would build vessel that would
answer the governments requirements and
give satisfaction.
Gradually the new navy is taking shape
If Mr.. Whitney remains at the head of the
department a few years more, or if he is
succeeded at the end of his term by an
honest and thoroughly capable man, it will
not be long before we shall have navy of
which we shall have reason to be proud

Ex-Gov. st. John, of Kansas, is rapidly
degenerating into a condition not far re
moved from idiocy. He objects to preachers
voting with either the Democratic or the
Republican party, and places the response
bility for the evils of the liquor traffic at
the door of the church. At Mountain Park,
near Wilkesbarre, Pa, the other day, he
said that if preachers, deacons and members
of the church did not vote for the continu-
ance of the traffic by casting their ballots
for the candidates of one or the other of the
old parties it would be stamped out within
a year. He held that no man who professed
to be follower of Christ could, if he acted
according to his professions, vote with any
other party than the Prohibition party.
Ex-Gov st. John does the temperance cause
more injury than good by such utterances,
and confirms the impression that he hopes
to become President with the aid of the
Prohibition party.

He Didn't Enjoy Sea Bathing.
From the Neto York Ereninq sun.


An old man with very thin legs thin hair and
long gray beard emerged from an Asbury Park
bath house at Fourth avenue last evening and
looked SorTowfully toward Europe. The bathing
suit did not fit him by many degrees, and
besides it was torn in the back The old man
heSated for a moment as he observed that the
beach lOungerS were taking him in. He appeared
to be entirely alone. From q general survey
IT his physique one would select him for
deacon in the Baptist church or treasurer of
some Sunday school who had escaped with the
funds
After looking sadly at the sea, which rolled
healthy swell against the sands, he went
toward the waters edge at a funeral pace. He
folded his arms and looked some more at the
sea, gaugng with his gray eye the distance
reached by the swell as it came in.
Ii was quite clear to those who watched him
that lie had never been in the ocean before.
Go on" shouted one of the dudes, who lay
in the sand reading seaside novel; go on !;
the water won't hurt you"
The old man took courage and stepped down
to the life line. He grabbed it with both hands
In came swell and tickled his bare feet He
jumped to avoid getting his feet wet, but the
salt water had caught him. He danced around
moment on the vet sand, as the waves reced-
ed, and took another step toward Europe. He
still had hold of the line with one hand He
was about to take another step eastward, when
good round swell came in and knocked both
feet from under him. When he came down he
dug hole in the sand and slid along seward
as the wave went ont.
Think ng he was gone, he gave one whoop
Topped over on his stomach and made for shore
all fours like crab. He did not stop run
ming on his hands and knees until he had
reached the dry sand. Then he got on his feet
and dug sand for his bath house He didn't
stop for anything. He hurriedly threw on his
Clothes and walked briskly away, saying not
word 20 anybody. He will go home and dis

Sure of the Mugwumps,

In the current number of Hurppr'S
Weekly Mr. George William Curtis has
something to say about his address at the
Newport meeting of the National Civil Ser
vice Reform League last week, and also
about the resolution which the league
adopted.
He thinks that the criticisms on his ad-
dress and the resolution which have ap-
peared in the Republican press are not sup
ported by the facts. While the league is
dissatisfied with the Presidents civil service
reform record, it is not ready to abandon
him. 1t looks upon him as certain to be a
candidate for a second term, and as between
him and other probable candidates the
league will support him, because it regards
him as very much moro the friend of civil
service reform than any one of them.
This is sort of a confession that the
President has really acted honestly and
squarcly with the people and has kept all the
promises that he made to them, and it is an
admission that it is about impossible for
the President to put into practical operation
the civil service notions which are enter
tanned by reformers of the George William
Curtis type. 0&course Mr., Curtis does not
say this in so many words, but it is a legiti-
mate inference from what he does say. 1t
is evident that Mr.. Cleveland will have the
support of the Mugwumps for a second
term.
